A lot happened in Washington, D.C. on Thursday night! In the House, representatives passed President Obama's huge tax package, while in the Senate, Republicans embarrassed Democrats, again. Let's take a look at the fortunate and the unfortunate:

Fortunately, President Obama is in a strong position to win re-election in 2012.Unfortunately, he will have to be the actual president of this country, and not the fake president who always does what you want him to, of a country where everyone agrees with you.

Fortunately, we're just a few weeks away from the start a brand new year!Unfortunately, it will probably be even worse than this one.

Fortunately, eventually, you will die.Unfortunately, you have to live for a while first.
